(Don’t Permit Sickness To Dwell In You)
TO THE BIBLE: Luke 10:19 CEV
“I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions and to defeat the power of your enemy Satan. Nothing can harm you.”
LET’S TALK
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. This means your body isn’t yours; it’s owned by God. However, you’re the one to exercise authority over your body, keeping it free of sickness, disease, and infirmity.
The words of Jesus in the opening verse should let you know you’re not ordinary; you have the right to tell your body how it should feel. Tell your body what to do, and it’ll respond. Jesus said in Mark 11:23 that you shall have what you say.
If you’ve been struggling with an addiction, declare with boldness, “I’m not going to let anything dominate me. I keep my body in subjection to the Word of God!” When you perceive the symptoms of sickness in your body, reject them, for they only become real when you say they are.
Your words aren’t empty; what you say comes to pass; therefore, talk to your body always, and keep it in health.
Don’t say, “I have a growth in my stomach and it’s hurting so bad.” Tell the pain to cease, and tell your body to function rightly in line with the life of Christ that’s in your spirit.
Christ lives in you! He dwells in your spirit and expresses Himself through your physical body. Your consciousness of this reality makes it easier for you to exercise dominion over your body against sickness, disease, and infirmity.
